I wish I had the number
to my younger self
I'd pick up the phone
and say
you're only twelve
And you've lost more
than most people do
you don't know it now
but there's still
more to lose
'Cause friends move away
and people get older
your heart's gonna break
over and over
You're not to blame
so don't blame yourself
I hope this helps
You're gonna ask why
you're gonna
want answers
gonna feel like
no one ever understands
You're gonna think twice
before you start praying
and wonder when
the walls will
stop caving
I hate to be the one
to tell you this
but you'll
be alright kid
I wish you knew
the feeling wasn't
permanent
I wish you knew
your brother
would come back again
And time does heal
but don't heal everything
if you knew it now
who you were gonna be
You might care less
about what they think
stop trying to impress
the people who leave
It scares you to death
but don't take it hard
'cause I know you are
You're gonna ask why
you're gonna
want answers
gonna feel like
no one ever understands
You're gonna think twice
before you start praying
and wonder when
the walls will
stop caving
I hate to be the one
to tell you this
but you'll
be alright
Growing up's not easy
but it's gonna get better
Growing up's not easy
alone
You're gonna ask why
you're gonna
want answers
gonna feel like
no one ever understands
You're gonna think twice
before you start praying
and wonder when
the walls will
stop caving
I hate to be the one
to tell you this
I hate to be the one
to tell you this
But you'll
be alright kid
